Abstract
Crop monitoring can provide useful information for farmers to establish farm management strategies suitable for optimum production of vegetables. But, traditional monitoring has used field measurements involving destructive sampling and laboratory analysis, which is costly and time consuming. Unmanned Aerial vehicle (UAV) could be effectively applied in a field of crop monitoring for estimation of cultivated area, growth parameters, growth disorder and yield, because it can acquire high-resolution images quickly and repeatedly. And lower flight altitude compared with satellite, UAV can obtain high quality images even in cloudy weather. This study examined the possibility of utilizing UAV in the field of crop monitoring and was to suggest the application method for production of crop status information from UAV.
